Frequently asked questions
About Westvest 213, Schiedam
Is €389,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €389,000 is 31% below the average asking price in Walvisbuurt (€562,944) and close to the median sold price of €365,000. Given the 110 m² floor area, it works out at about €3,536 per m², which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,527 per m². So it appears keenly priced.
What does energy label D mean?
Energy label D is a mid-range label. It means the home is registered with an official energy performance certificate. In Walvisbuurt, most homes for sale have label C or better, so this one is slightly less efficient than average. Expect moderate energy costs, but the exact amount depends on usage.

Experiences from Centrum
How residents experience their district
I've lived here for 14 years, very special because my father was born on this street. But in recent years the neighbourhood has deteriorated. They gave it a makeover but that doesn't improve anything. More people live here and also different people at the same addresses who simply don't belong here. It's very noisy and the nuisance has increased.

Experiences from Schiedam
How residents experience their municipality
The parking is really too full, the people are very antisocial. You really get nothing from the neighbours here, they just ignore you and walk on. What is a plus point is that you live close to shops and schools, which is very handy and easily accessible. You really miss the sense of community in the neighbourhood because that used to be the case. There are also many people walking around with dangerous loose dogs like pitbulls that recently bit another dog. That is also dangerous for the residents themselves.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's nice but a lot of rubbish needs to be tidied up again, a show-off who keeps everything to himself and makes sure it stays tidy.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is fun with the windmills, whisper boat, jenever museum. There are fun things to do, come and have a look, Schiedam is nice.
